Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS)

Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS) is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. We are a federally registered charity and incorporated as a society in the province of Alberta.

AARCS was founded in 2006 and is a strong network of individuals and families concerned about the welfare of abandoned, abused, and surrendered animals in the province of Alberta.  Our volunteers range in age from young children to seniors, all are animal lovers and want to make a difference.

AARCS initially started with our Rescue, Rehabilitate & Re-home Program. This program entails rescuing animals and placing them in the safety of our foster home network while awaiting suitable placement in permanent adoptive homes.  These animals are provided with all the necessary veterinary care, as well as food, rehabilitation, training, kindness, and support.
